Objective: Seeking a job and work environment that is pleasant, slightly challenging, interesting, intriguing with a cohesive setting. I would like a position specific to my work experience either in endoscopy, dialysis, home health, outpatient surgery, urgent care or med. surg. A clerical position at this stage of my life would be suitable also. I plan and hope to utilize my skills and knowledge to their fullest capacity as a nursing professional. I look forward to improving the medical aspect of each life I encounter. I believe in treating everyone with a wholistic approach and treating them with respect as I like being treated.
